    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    Ok, I made up my mind to go with the Dwarven TWF Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue I mentioned above. I picture him as a very serious dungeoneer. I still have to work out details like which class to take my first level in (rogue for the skills, barbarian for the hit points and speed, fighter for the...

    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    I don't care how awesome a stat block is...I won't play a character that isn't interesting and cool. If it was just about the combat...I'd stick to my computer games. Good advice, thanks :)

    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    More great suggestions...awesome. I had been toying with the idea of swapping Int and Dex to get an 18 Dex...and going for a mix of ... Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue ...we might eventually hit level 15, so I was thinking of an eventual build like. Fighter 9, Barbarian 3, Rogue 3 The barbarian...

    Half-Orc Two-Weapon Fighter: Is There Any Point?

    So what would people say is the best semi-standard race for a TWF fighter?

    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    Ahh...sorry for the lack of info. We are using the core 3.5 books to start, along with the Eberron settings books. Later on there is a training/quest system to get feats or prestige classes from other books. The characters are level one to start, but I want a serious idea where I'm going with...

    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    Both very solid suggestions, but I've definitely decided to stick to something that is pure melee this time (all of my recent characters have been casters of some kind).

    Help? I just can't make up my mind...

    Ok, After three days of spinning my wheels, I decided to come here for some ideas. Now, the funny thing is that I have no shortage of ideas, with the stats I rolled using the "Organic" method from the book, I can be pretty much anything I want. However, I do know that I want to be a...

    NE - Looking for player in Nebraska, Omaha area

    I'm interested... I live in Lincoln, but work in Omaha (Papillion). It would depend some on when you game and whatnot, but I would definitely be interested.

    Some interesting news about 4th edition

    You know... To be honest I wouldn't be at all surprised if WoTC took a clue from other very successful marketing efforts from other industries and released rumors like this among their 'hardcore' fan base in order to test reactions. Let's be honest for a second though. 4th Edition is going...

    A really really really really really really dumb question

    I don't have my book on me, but if you look at the start of the equipment section of the PHB, there is a short table showiing what each class rolls for starting gold. It's on the very first page of the equipment section.

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    Years ago, the DM of the game was having us make new characters for a new game, but I wasn't there that night. So later in the week, I rolled up my stats in front of another player and got pretty decent stats, one 18, one 17 and a smattering of 10-14s. The DM said they 'looked a bit too...

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    Missing Option: Trust them for the most part, but never bother checking die rolls. If I suspect a player is fudging die rolls, that's fine, I'll just adjust things accordingly. If they need to do that to have fun, as long as they aren't ruining other peoples fun, it's ok. If they are...

    WTF is "cold iron", and why's it so special?

    Historically, 'cold iron' is a shortening of 'cold wrought iron'. Wrought iron is usually a very low carbon content steel that is worked with a hammer while white hot and shaped with the hammer into the desired form. However, you can work it with a hammer while it is merely warm enough for the...

    Moving from D&D 3.0 to 3.5, what should I know?

    Can I just reiterate...I hate 3.5. All the spell changes alone make me hate it. So many staple spells of old..gimped. ...Sorry, I won't get started...

    ....and the DM just gaped

    ...And so began, Chicken Dungeoneering. Our party had just finished saving a town from an Orc menace and were set to collect the 300gp bounty. Only the GM reveals that the town will have to pay us in trade goods. Now the GM is imagining that since we are going to be exporing the horrors of the...

    Some spells for review [3.0]

    Thanks, I changed this from a variable number of missiles to a set number and forgot to change that. It would be a bit strange, but it would work underground. This is based on an event that occurred in our campaign when a npc Paladin, whose father was the Sun God, accepted his divine heritage...

    Giving fighters something to do.

    Ok...I'll give you that one, but everyone else impressive just left my brain at the time. Oh...as for differences between 1.0 and 3.0 magic, you have to also take into account the difference in hit points. While a fireball still does d6, it's now limited to 10d6. Meanwhile, Con Bonuses can...
